Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
A surprise payment!
So....my permanent residency visa was granted in February 2014. After four years you are entitled to apply for Citizenship which I did in February 2018. I am still waiting to hear if that is to be granted and was told today not to expect it before December!Yesterday I discovered that my permanent residency visa only covers me to exit and return to Australia for 5 years. That facility ran out this last February. I have had to apply to extend my resident return rights at a cost of $379.55.So...a further travel payment on your visa is required after five years but you can apply for Citizenship after four years, yet it takes nearly two years to be granted. Funny that!No more IKEA kitchen cabinets for a while then.
A surprise shower.
So...today we got a late afternoon rain shower and collected 2.5 mls in the rain gauge. It's better than nothing!
